[Gtk-sharp-list] GLib.Idle CPU problem

[Peter Johanson]

Iliya,


Are you returning true or false from your OnIdle callback?

What are you trying to actually accomplish? Application.Idle occurs
*once* when the application is about to enter the idle state. Compare
this to GLib.Idle.Add, which will *continuously* run your IdleHandler
callback over and over until that callback returns false. (compared to
just winforms where the event just fires once when it enters the idle
state).
